SLC22A16 Membrane Protein Introduction

Introduction of SLC22A16

Solute carrier family 22 member 16 (SLC22A16), which is an organic anion/cation transporter, is a protein encoded by the SLC22A16 gene in humans. SLC22A16 is also known as Carnitine transporter 2(CT2), Fly-like putative transporter 2(FLIPT2; Flipt 2), Organic cation transporter OKB1 or Organic cation/carnitine transporter 6. It is highly similar to organic cation transporters in humans. The gene SLC22A16 is widely found in many mammals.

Function of SLC22A16 Protein

The SLC22A16 (rs12210538 A/G) gene polymorphism is a non-synonymous polymorphism that replaces methionine with threonine at position 409. The expression of the SLC22A16 gene in cancer cells is associated with increased sensitivity to redox cytotoxicity. SLC22A16 is a high-affinity carnitine transporter. The absorption of SLC22A16 is partially dependent on sodium ions. SLC22A16 is thought to be a mechanism regulating the secretion of L-carnitine, from the epididymis of the testis into the lumen of sperm maturation. SLC22A16 also transports organic carbon such as tetraethylammonium (tea) and multi-crububicin. The intake of tea is inhibited by various organic foods. The absorption of doxorubicin is sodium-independent. SLC22A16 involves drug transport to FAC.

Application of SLC22A16 Protein in Literature

  1. Zhao W., et al. SLC22A16 upregulation is an independent unfavorable prognostic indicator in gastric cancer. Future Oncology. 2018. PubMed ID: 29698084.

    These results suggest that SLC22A16 may be a valuable prognostic marker in gastric cancer.

  2. Faraji A., et al. Association of ABCB1 and SLC22A16 Gene Polymorphisms with Incidence of Doxorubicin-Induced Febrile Neutropenia: A Survey of Iranian Breast Cancer Patients. PLoS ONE. 2016, 11 (12): e0168519. PubMed ID: 28036387.

    The results showed that at least one allele C of ABCB1 (rs10276036 C/T) polymorphic carrier and at least one allele A of SLC22A16 (rs12210538 A/G) polymorphism tend to be more susceptible to grade 3/4 febrile neutropenia.

    The article reveals that in addition, iron consumption reduced the intake of 3H-spermidine, directly in line with the reduced level of polyamine importer SLC22A16.

    These results indicate that patients who are more tolerant to FAC therapy and who are more likely to complete chemotherapy are at high doses without reducing dose, delay in treatment, and declining quality of life.

    Clear orthological relationships of zebrafish slc22 and other vertebrate slc22 genes were established in this research. Because of their physiological and toxicological importance, slc22 members are highly conserved.
